• Influence of brood rearing temperature on honey bee development and susceptibility to poisoning by pesticides (2010, background): “…these modifications can lead to severe damage at the colony level, even if there is no apparent effect at the individual level (Vandame et al., 1995; Bortolotti et al., 2003; Medrzycki et al., 2003; Decourtye et al., 2004; 2005; Kralj and Fuchs, 2006; Kralj et al., 2007; Desneuz et al., 2007).”
• Reduction in homing flights in the honey bee Apis mellifera after a sublethal dose of neonicotinoid insecticides (2013, background): “…sublethal effects of neonicotinoids are impairments in learning performance (Decourtye et al., 2004a; 2004b; 2005), declines in foraging activity (Medrzycki et al., 2003; Colin et al., 2004; Decourtye et al., 2004a; Ramirez-Romero et al., 2005), disruption of homing flights (Bortolotti et al.,…”
• Toxicity and biochemical changes in the honey bee Apis mellifera exposed to four insecticides under laboratory conditions (2015, background): “Bees treated with imidacloprid were less active; the communicative capacity seemed to be impaired (Medrzycki et al. 2003) and this compound can induce behavioral changes such as a decrease in foraging activity (Decourtye et al.”
• Effects of sub-lethal imidacloprid doses on the homing rate and foraging activity of honey bees (2003, unknown): “Medrzycki et al. (2003) state that imidacloprid has a negative effect on the insect’s mobility and that treated bees behave in an uncoordinated and unsynchronised way.”
• Presence of the a.i. imidacloprid on vegetation near corn fields sown with Gaucho ® dressed seeds (2006, background): “…a progressive decrease in the hive population and sublethal doses can determine behavioural changes (Colin et al., 2001; Decourtye et al., 2001; Guez et al., 2001; Suchail et al., 2001a; Bortolotti et al., 2003; Medrzycki et al., 2003; Colin et al., 2004; Rortais et al., 2005; Faucon et al., 2005).”
• Effects of neonicotinoids and fipronil on non-target invertebrates (2014, unknown): “Imidacloprid further impairs the mobility of bees, as reflected by decreases in running and walking and increases in the time that exposed bees remain stationary (Medrzycki et al. 2003).”
